Development and psychometric validation for evaluating written medicine information in Thailand: The Consumer Information Rating Form.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To translate and validate the consumer information rating form (CIRF) for use in Thai populations.

Design

The development of the CIRF was carried out in two phases: translation process and cognitive interview, and psychometric testing.

Setting

A university hospital and a tertiary hospital in northeast Thailand.

Participants

150 outpatients from medicine department: 30 for phase 1 and 120 patients for phase 2 study.

Methods

The CIRF was translated with cultural adaptation into Thai using cognitive interview technique in a sample of outpatients. A larger sample of outpatients then completed the CIRF in relation to either a package insert (PI) or a patient information leaflet (PIL) for one of three medicines: atorvastatin, celecoxib and metformin.
